This is an E-Verify compliance exhibit document related to the 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project issued by the City of Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety in Hamilton County, Indiana. The document establishes E-Verify requirements for all contractors and subcontractors participating in the project. All contractors and subcontractors must enroll in and utilize the federal E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility of all employees assigned to project work. E-Verify compliance documentation must be submitted with bid proposals in the form of a computer screenshot of the bidder's business E-Verify webpage. Sealed bids are due by 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in City Hall. Project work is scheduled to begin in May 2026 with substantial completion required by June 30, 2026.

Failure to include E-Verify compliance documentation with the bid submission will result in bid rejection and disqualification. This requirement applies uniformly to all bidders regardless of size or classification, with no set-aside designations or restrictions limiting competition. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder where the bid is reasonable and does not exceed available City of Carmel funds. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified for this project. The E-Verify requirement ensures federal employment verification standards are maintained throughout the project execution and applies to all workers assigned to the water main installation work valued at approximately 800 linear feet of 12-inch water main.
